XSCRIPT

Xscript is a hybrid concept located somewhere between normal propriatary scripting and macro environments, e.g. AutoLisp for AutoCad, and real development languages, e.g. VB(A) or Delphi. The former is usually too propriatary and specifically suited for the application it accompanies, and proper development is usually too hard to cope with for ordinary users. And both usually requires purchase of an additional compiler/development environment. The non-programmer power user falls into the chasm between these two worlds... Xscript Engine is an interpreter for Xscript, a neccessary tool to execute the Xscripts. It's the runtime environment for execution of the Xscripts. It reads the Xscript from the file, uses an XML parser to evaluate the Xscript XML content into a memory model (DOM tree), and traverses this DOM tree while executing the individual statements and evaluating the individual expressions as needed... Xscript tries to bridge that chasm by adopting a robust XML based format..
